Because of the energy-transition, the conventional Belgian production parc will be replaced more and more by renewable energy sources.

These sources are variable, are less predictable and are dispersed in the transmission- and distribution networks.

In the future, the flexibility of supply and demand will be essential to evade congestions on the network and to keep supply and demand in balance.

Will there, at any moment, be enough resources available to assure this need for flexibility?

And which ones will this be? Will the new sources of flexibility, such as Demand Respons and renewable energy, play a role or will the major part of the flexibility be provided by the traditional power stations, among which thermical power stations?

What changes in the market rules could stimulate the development of new sources of flexibility?

To answer these questions, KBVE/SRBE invites you to this seminar where the most important players from this sector will share their experiences and vision according to 4 themes:

1. How big are the needs for flexibility in Belgium and Europe?

2. What means are available to satisfy these needs and what is the optimal mix? 

3. What incentives are possible to have developed new capacities and sources of flexibility?

4. Do the current means as energy markets, markets for supporting services and the conditions for connection to the network have to be adapted? 

This seminar is the perfect opportunity for the stakeholders of the energy transition to exchange thoughts with the experts in these matters.
